When asked if there is stargery on how he bifurcating between pan Indian and bilingual as his next film Kushi with Samantha will release in Telugu and Tamil. "It's related to the script. Kushi, the first half is entirely happening in first half and lot of it comes from me not knowing hindi and being in Kashmir and stuff so it's doesn't work if I put it here. Because if I release it hindi, I need to be a Hindi guy. So that whole space of first half doesn't work so it's technical reason. For that technical reason we decided to keep it only to South states. It will work in any language that's not Hindi," Vijay shared.

Shiva Nirvana is directing this upcoming romantic flick, which will also star Jayaram, Sachin Khedakar, Murali Sharma, Lakshmi, Ali, Rohini, Vennela Kishore, Rahul Ramakrishna, Srikanth Iyengar, and Saranya in significant roles.
